Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS10 family.
Involved in the binding of tRNA to the ribosomes.
Acts as a transcriptional regulator. Probably redox-responsive. The apo- but not holo-form probably binds DNA.
Binds 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster per subunit. Following nitrosylation of the [4Fe-4S] cluster binds 1 [4Fe-8(NO)] cluster per subunit.
The Fe-S cluster can be nitrosylated by nitric oxide (NO).
Upon Fe-S cluster removal intramolecular disulfide bonds are formed.
Component of the 30S ribosomal translation pre-initiation complex which assembles on the 30S ribosome in the order IF-2 and IF-3, IF-1 and N-formylmethionyl-tRNA(fMet); mRNA recruitment can occur at any time during PIC assembly.
One of the essential components for the initiation of protein synthesis. Stabilizes the binding of IF-2 and IF-3 on the 30S subunit to which N-formylmethionyl-tRNA(fMet) subsequently binds. Helps modulate mRNA selection, yielding the 30S pre-initiation complex (PIC). Upon addition of the 50S ribosomal subunit IF-1, IF-2 and IF-3 are released leaving the mature 70S translation initiation complex.
Heptamer of 7 subunits arranged in a ring. Interacts with the chaperonin GroEL.
Together with the chaperonin GroEL, plays an essential role in assisting protein folding. The GroEL-GroES system forms a nano-cage that allows encapsulation of the non-native substrate proteins and provides a physical environment optimized to promote and accelerate protein folding. GroES binds to the apical surface of the GroEL ring, thereby capping the opening of the GroEL channel.
Lacks conserved residue(s) required for the propagation of feature annotation.
Belongs to the bacterial ribosomal protein bL36 family.
